Sigh, The game revolves around the players and coaches not around the fans. Sure they bring in the money but melbourne is surviving enough as it is, it does not need a large influx of members at this current time.

Dean Bailey has been groomed for a top job like Clarkson under the reigns of a great coach in Williams. I mean people were saying the same about Hawthorn who were **** and had low crowds etc. Clarkson may not be the big seller like Sheedy but he's done what every coach prefers than media work. On field success translates to off field success.
